Threet and Minor Questionable for Northwestern

Michigan starters Quarterback Stephen Threet and Running Back Brandon Minor are questionable for Michigan's home game this weekend against the 7-3 Northwestern Wildcats.

Coach Rodriguez said in his weekly news conference that Threet is still having headaches from his concussion suffered in the Purdue game and that Minor has two sore shoulders. Coach Rod was not sure if there was a separation but he has soreness in both shoulders and in his ribs.

"He's certainly not ready [to play] now," Rodriguez said.

QB Controversy? Rodriguez said Threet and Sheridan will split snaps in practice this week if Threet's health improves.

Northwestern has it's own injury problems but Quarterback C.J. Bacher who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury could return this week.
